Review 'Pretty Lawless' by Jodi Linton

She's about to go vigilante on his ass...

Laney Briggs was almost certain that her sexy-assed Texas Ranger, Gunner
Wilson, was gonna pop the question. Instead, he went and pulled one helluva
fast one—he arrested her best friend, Luke Wagner, and skipped out. Now Pistol
Rock's firecracker deputy is ready to go Wild West on Gunner…if she can just
keep that raw, sexual chemistry under control.

Gunner was planning to propose, and it all went to hell. Now he's boots-deep
into an investigation with ties to the Dirty Southern Mafia and corrupt cops.
Yep, Laney is definitely gonna have his hide. Especially when she finds out
just how much he's been keeping from her…

But Laney has a weakness for Gunner's delectable cowboy hotness. And for him,
she will break every rule in the book—including the ones she's sworn to uphold.

My Review:

When I finished reading ‘Pretty Reckless’, the first book
in the Deputy Laney Briggs series more than a year ago, I was immediately
addicted to this story and the handsome cowboys. All these months later I can’t
believe ‘Pretty Lawless’ will be the last book in this series. That’s why I was
really excited, but also a little reluctant to read this book.

In ‘Pretty Lawless’ we meet Laney Briggs right were the ‘Pretty Shameless’ ended. Laney discovered her boyfriend Gunner had
been lying about a lot of things lately. Now Laney is hurt and desperate to
find out the truth about the case Gunner is lying so much for. Especially when
this case also seems to involve her friend Luke Wagner.

This book is a little different than the previous ones in
the series because this one is written in both Laney’s and Gunner’s point of
view. Although this was really fun read, I did have some trouble at times
following which POV I was reading. I really had to get back to the beginning of
the chapter a couple of times. But maybe that’s just me.

In this final book a lot of things about Laney and Gunner
are finally explained. Secrets are revealed, relationships are explained and
new friendships are made. Everything really came back together and that really
felt like a perfect way to end a series to me.

The chemistry and passion between Laney and Gunner is
still sexy and fun to read about. It’s not very romantic but their sparkling
attraction for each other really made up for that.

What I didn’t like about this book was the way Laney
seemed to be attracted to every ‘Cowboy’ she talked to. This really frustrated
me because she claims to be so in love with Gunner. Well, honestly I think that
if that would be through she wouldn’t be so easily attracted to someone else.
This just didn’t work me.

Also the scene at the swingers party at the end didn’t do
it for me. In my opinion this just didn’t fitted the story.

Overall I did enjoy reading about how the story of Laney
and Gunner ended. I loved getting to know them the last year and to read about
their journey. This series definitely makes me keep an eye out on other books
by Jodi Linton.

My Rating:

About the Author:

Growing up in a small Texas town didn't have many perks,
but it allowed for some colorful writing material. After settling down with her
family in central Texas, Jodi found her passion: writing kick-ass, southern
contemporary romance stories. Today she can be found cozied up to the computer
escaping into a quirky world of tall tales, sexy, tight jean wearing cowboys,
and a protagonist with a sharp-tongue quick enough to hang any man out to dry.

My characters swear, have lots of dirty sex, and live it up...there's no mint
juleps in my stories.

I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

It really is a fun series but this one was definitely the one I liked the least. Too bad really, because it was the last one.. But fortunately I still liked it enough to feel like it has been a good ending to a fun series.The setting was definitely fun.. and who doesn't like a handsome cowboy?! :D

About Me

My name is Maureen, I’m 28 years old and I live with my husband and cat in The Netherlands. And
I’m a fulltime Nurse on a Traumatology department at an Academic Hospital. As
long as I can remember my life has been filled with books and stories. I grew
up with my mom and was just the two of us for a long time. But we were never
really just ‘with the two of us’. Our house has been filled with books and
bookshelves and the books never stopped coming. I grew up reading everything I
could put my hands on from ‘Mathilda’ and ‘James and the Giant Peach’ by Roald
Dahl, till all the Harry Potter books and the Twilight series. So growing up
I’ve have been in all sorts of different worlds. I used books as an escape when
things got tough but I also used books to find my peace and somehow grew in the
woman I am today.
